For those of you who love Christmas music, you’ve probably already started playlisting your favorite songs. If you’re like me, you’ve got some classics, indies, a Bublé song or two, maybe some Trans-Siberian Orchestra, and a few pop contemporaries. Quality new Christmas music seems hard to come by these days. If you’re looking for some original takes on the classics or perhaps a few new Christmas songs, we’ve got you covered. Here’s a list of three free Christmas collections you’ll want to add to your playlist this year.

Various Artists – NoiseTrade EastSide Manor Christmas Sessions 2013

If you haven’t heard of NoiseTrade, it’s time you head over there and get yourself some music, for FREE. Yep. You can download this album for free, but please consider supporting these generous artists by giving a social media post or a monetary donation. Their 2013 Christmas compilation contains a solid roster of artists: Jars of Clay, Dave Barnes, Brooke Waggoner, Humming House, Sara Macintosh, Angel Snow, Matthew Perryman Jones, and Street Corner Symphony. “With a tasty tracklist of classic Christmas hymns, holiday originals, bluegrass folk, piano tunes, acoustic ballads, a capella harmonies, beatboxing, and more,” they’ve got something for everyone. “So fire up the yule log, spike up the eggnog and enjoy this early Christmas present from [their] musical hearts to yours.”

Sleeping At Last - Christmas Collection 2013

Ryan O’Neal might be the only official member of Sleeping At Last, but that doesn’t stop him from releasing great tunes. It’s been tradition for him to record and release a Christmas song every year, and it’s now accumulated into a 13-song Christmas album. The new addition is the John Lennon and Yoko Ono classic, “Happy Xmas (War is Over.)”

“I had so much fun working on this one! I hope you enjoy my take on it and consider it a worthy addition to my ever-growing Christmas Collection. Thanks for listening!! – Ryan (Sleeping At Last)”

This one is also available for free download on NoiseTrade, so make sure you show Ryan some love when you get it!

Paste might get a mixed reputation for its indie music snobbery, but they seem to be doing things right when it comes to their “Holiday Sampler.” It made the list because of its roster of quality artists: Sufjan Stevens, Good Old War, Seabird, Otis Redding, Bright Eyes, Drew Holcomb & The Neighbors, The Last Bison, and more. The compilation includes some original compositions as well as covers of some old favorites. And here’s a note for Paste; “It’s okay, you can call it what it is… a CHRISTMAS Sampler.” Get your copy FREE on Noisetrade.

If you want a couple other ideas for Christmas tunes, here are my personal honorable mentions. You’ve gotta have some classic Bing Crosby, White Christmas. If you’ve been awake for at least a few hours of 2013, you know what Duck Dynasty is, but did you know they released a Christmas album? Enjoy Duck the Halls this season and let the hilarity ensue. Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays!
